Pros for Klimenko, from the website: “Klimenko's biggest appeal as a prospect starts with his very impressive physical tools, which put him in a rare and highly coveted class of big men. He has excellent size, having measured just a hair under 7-feet without shoes in at the adidas EuroCamp in 2012, to go along with a superb 7-4 wingspan and 9-4 standing reach. His frame is underdeveloped at the moment but shows serious promise, as he shouldn't have any issue seemingly topping out at 250-260 pounds with a proper strength and conditioning regimen. On top of that, Klimenko is extremely mobile for his size, as he runs the floor like a deer and is capable of playing above the rim thanks to his solid leaping ability.”

Cons for Klimenko, from the website: “On the downside, Klimenko still appears to be in a relatively early stage of his development, as his basketball IQ is average and he makes some fairly questionable decisions at times on the floor. He doesn't always know his limitations seemingly, and gets taken advantage of a little more than you'd hope defensively when going up against older, more experienced big men, giving up deep post position, getting scored on inside, and not showing great awareness for what's happening on the court. He isn't a soft player and shows solid activity when he's motivated to impose his will, but he just doesn't have a lot of experience and his motor tends to run hot and cold at times, particularly when he's not getting as many offensive touches as he likes.”
